WASHINGTON — The Defense Department is reviewing a number of military bases to find a location that can house up to 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children as the U.S. braces for a surge of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally this spring.

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “If you post it on social media, that’s probable cause for us to come get the guns out of your house,” Democrat Florida State Senator Jason Pizzo proclaimed in a Facebook video three years ago. “That’s it. It’s now on you to explain why you have a gun in your house and why it’s on social media…”
He was stumping at the time to change the law to deny the right to keep and bear arms to young adults old enough to vote, marry, sign binding contracts and serve in the military. Pending that, he wanted parents to call the police on their children if they saw them posting pictures and videos with guns online.

Fresno, CA — Police officers across America deal with horrific and often tragic cases on a daily basis. From coast to coast, they have to tell families that their child has been run over or their mother committed suicide or that their father has been killed in a car wreck. This job can be incredibly stressful and gut wrenching, which would make one think that adding extra stress to the job would be a terrible idea. However, cops, like the ones in the video below—on a daily basis—create more stress for themselves by turning people against them by committing despicable acts of unnecessary violence.

“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid,” Donald Trump declared in 2015. “Every other Republican’s going to cut, and even if they wouldn’t, they don’t know what to do because they don’t know where the money is. I do. I do.”
